"W. W.'s, Fight Gloucester Guards DELIVERY FRUSTRATED Lack of help and the Intense hot weather of the last two weeks has caused a perlous shortage of ice in many Bub urban towns, especially Doylestown, N'ewtown and Lansdale. All purchasers aro warned to stretch their supply to the limit, and In some cases'edalers take a recor of each sale, so one person may not obtain more than a fair share. Many Ice plants aro unable to main tain their dallv production because of defective machinery. Delays are en counteted In making lepalrs because help Is scarce. No ice is being manufactured In Doylestown because of the breaking down of the plant of Harry S. Funk A small amount of creek Ice is available. This has been stored in small quanti ties by a few individual residents and Is sold at the regular market price. There was not enough of this to meet the demand today and it was necessary for many families to send to neat by places for a supply. The manufacture mav be resumed tomorrow. There is also a serious shortage In Lansdale Dealers there are limiting purchases. Residents of Newtown and other com munities have been forced In many In stances to cool milk and other food with running water. Last night's storm added to the suf- thelr glorious nnd h,.r.. fcring. crippling tlie telephone service.
